Norman Reedus recently did an interview with Time Out Dubai. In the interview Reedus talks about getting fit for his role, whether or not Daryl was written to be a regular on the show, Daryl’s signature zombie kills, and finally he wraps things up by talking about the success of Season One.
Do you have to get fit to run away from zombies at the beginning of each summer?
I did a film in between, but you lose weight and get fit just being in Atlanta because it’s 100 billion degrees here. Atlanta is definitely a character in the show. I think it helps constantly sweating, because you’re constantly uncomfortable.Was Daryl always designed to be a regular on the show?
That’s the bad thing about being on a zombie show. You never know when you’re going to get bit, but I knew if I did a good job I’d be here for a while. It’s my favourite job I’ve ever been on. So I hope it lasts a long time.What makes it your favourite?
I like the crew and the cast. I had fears going into television that it might become boring to me and I always like to be challenged and push myself. With this, I try to make the best of every single day and I try to find the nuances that make Daryl a unique guy and not just a hero or antihero.Daryl has a particular way of offing zombies, is that something that carries on and does he branch out and try new ways?
I have a couple of cool kills. The double axe is one. He’s sort of like MacGyver when it comes to murder. He’ll kill you with whatever is around.
Are you going to keep killing zombies with the arrow?
Oh yeah. I’m not going to let that go. I’m going to try and hold on to that as much as possible. The thing with the crossbow is that it’s quiet so you don’t attract other zombies. The only bad part is that I’ve got to get my arrow back after they’ve been killed.
